| Commenting on the results, Dr. G.S.C Rao, Executive Director, Simbhaoli Sugars said, “The distillery business of the company has shown a commendable contribution to sales, where the EBIDTA margins have gone up from 3% to 6.2%. This has been due to the 12% increase in the country liquor sales and lower cost of molasses. This performance will be boosted further with the completion of the Chilwaria ethanol distillery by the end of August 2006. We also expect a similar performance from the sugar, ethanol and cogeneration segments in the coming years with all the expansion plans of the company being completed by March 2007. Currently, all projects are going as per schedule and approximately half of the project activities have been completed. The increased capacity would have better realizations and give further boost to our sales and profitability”.

“We saw a sharp increase in the sale of branded and value added sugar this quarter as compared to the corresponding quarter in the last fiscal. The Q1 FY07 was also marked by a sharp increase in the sale of IMFL, raising the turnover from the segment by almost four times. Moreover, we see ethanol as an important area for the future of the company with prevailing high prices of petrol and the mandate of 5% blending of ethanol in petrol being applicable in all states from October this year. The company has also created international and domestic sugar trading as an independent thrust activity for the future”, added Mr. Sanjay Tapriya, Director- Finance, Simbhaoli sugars.
With a product portfolio diversified into a wide range of speciality sugar, potable alcohol, and bio-manure, apart from standard sugar, cogeneration and ethanol, the company expects revenues from several segments and thereby foresees a robust year ahead. |
